Silva can rely on Lookman and Walcott today

Everton will need to ensure consistency in the near future if they are to stand any chance of securing a European spot, with a number of other teams also in the race.

The Toffees have dropped off the pace slightly after enjoying a strong run of form under Marco Silva, so he may be looking to take action in the January transfer window.

Although, with fixtures coming thick and fast, Everton will welcome Brighton and Hove Albion to Goodison Park in their last game of 2018. The Seagulls have struggled to ensure consistency, so Silva could use the opportunity to give a couple of the club’s fringe players a chance, while bringing their European dream to life by securing three points.

Therefore, Silva can bring Everton’s European dream to life if he turns to this DUO…

ADEMOLA LOOKMAN

Ademola Lookman deserves to be playing regular football at this stage in his career, but he just hasn’t been provided with the opportunities under Marco Silva this season.

Indeed, the Englishman has plenty of potential and could easily become a star in the Premier League, having impressed during his limited minutes on the field.

Therefore, with a nervy Brighton defence coming up later on today, perhaps Silva should unleash Lookman to provide him with a fair chance to stake his claim on a regular place.

THEO WALCOTT

Theo Walcott was one of the standout performers towards the start of the current campaign, but he has fallen off the pace in recent times and is getting used to life on the substitutes’ bench.

However, with the likes of Bernard and Richarlison possibly feeling the effects of a busy festive schedule, Silva should gift the Englishman a starting place to provide rest and make use of his pace down the right-hand side.
